Systemic delivery of tumor suppressor microRNA mimics using a neutral lipid emulsion inhibits lung tumors in mice

P Trang, JF Wiggins, CL Daige, C Cho, M Omotola… - Molecular Therapy, 2011 - cell.com
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as potential cancer therapeutics, but effective delivery
mechanisms to tumor sites are a roadblock to utility. Here we show that systemically …

MicroRNAs and epigenetics
